Slippin' (Note to Self) Lyrics

Said no to drugs

Said no to alcohol

Said no to school dropped out back in the fall

I probably could have finished

But I didn't

I mean my heart just wasn't in it

And if you ain't doing things with gusto

Then you're in trouble

Like uh oh

Your love must show

Don't be a dumbo

And if you're mind is stuck inside the stucco

Then maybe you should mix things up

Like its gumbo and trust your gut so

You can try to burst out of that bubble

The sooner the better

Suggest to do it on the double

Cuz the faster you can figure out the puzzle

The faster you'll succeed all right bucko

Yo

And in addition to your hustle

It's gonna take a little bit of luck so

Be patient

And stay humble

Cuz nothing great happens in a day

It takes a couple

But

In the event that I forget

What my goal is and what I define as success

I wrote this

To remind myself that

In the event I go astray

And need a compass so I can find my way

I wrote this 

To remind myself that

Nothing in life fulfills my soul

Quite like music so

Ima keep on making this shit because

Nothing in life fulfills my soul

Quite like music so

Ima keep on making this shit

I'm just a rap vocalist

Flows like jazz soloists

That's why when I applied I snagged the last opening

To be the emcee of Apollo Bebop

Get the crowd bouncing like Reeboks

And keep hot like tea pots

Mama said she likes the Jazz with the Hip Hop

She got an accent that's just the way that she talks

In this game thicker than the redwoods we got

Goals to rise above and reach up to the treetops

And see spots higher than where nosebleed seats watch

That's why we come correct the second that the beat drops

We love putting the work in

Only fresh shit we serving

Cuz all these so called top shelf rappers need to be restocked

They only got the shelf life of like 4 days

Career will die before faster than they'll ever die of old age

Selling out is not an option

No way Jose

We in this for the long run don't care if it's a slow pace

But

In the event that I forget

What my goal is and what I define as success

I wrote this

To remind myself that

In the event I go astray

And need a compass so I can find my way

I wrote this 

To remind myself that

Nothing in life fulfills my soul

Quite like music so

Ima keep on making this shit because

Nothing in life fulfills my soul

Quite like music so

Ima keep on making this shit

Yo

To the next level we taking it taking it

Cuz our lives depend on us making it making it

So we gon' keep on making this making this here

To the next level we taking it taking it

Cuz our lives depend on us making it making it

So we gon' keep on making this making this here
